Abstract

A device (1) for introducing endovascular implants (3), which have an at least partially cylindrical design, into blood vessels, where the implant (3) is provided in an expanded state in which the implant is placed in the blood vessel, and in a compressed state, in which the implant can be introduced into the blood vessel, and the device (1) has an elongated shaft (2), the exterior of which is releasably secured to the implant (3) in the compressed state and through which the implant (3) runs. The implant (3) has at least one respective connection point (6) to the shaft (2) proximally and distally, said connection point being thermally, chemically, or electrolytically releasable; or at least one thread (12) extends in the longitudinal direction over the implant (3) at least over a majority of the length of the implant (3) such that the implant (3) is secured to the shaft (2) in the compressed state, and the thread (12) has at least one respective connection point (10, 11) to the shaft (2) proximally and distally, at least one connection point (11) of the connection points being thermally, chemically, or electrolytically releasable.
